Chapter 132 Processing
Mo Zisang did not hesitate, and quickly treated the two poisoned people.
The crowd watched.
"Qiyi, you come with me." Yuan Qing whispered beside Qi Yan, and then the two of them walked towards the second floor.
"This thing is strange, the restaurant has been open on the shore of this lake for hundreds of years, and I am afraid that it has not encountered today's affairs." Yuan Qing sighed and spoke. Moon Lake Restaurant is indeed two hundred years old.
"The master thinks that someone is framing us" is as smart as Qi Yan, she understands most of the meaning of what Yuan Qing said.
"Possibly." Yuan Qing nodded heavily. "Go check on these three people."
"Yes."
Qi Yi is a well-trained intelligence officer, and the situation in Qiuzhou City, as long as it is not a short and fragmentary family, she can probably explore something. These three people, casually go to check and ask, so that they can know their identities.
After all, in this era, intelligence is also a kind of business, as long as you have money and urgently needed news, people who know this news will always be willing to serve you. Of course, the way to this still needs a person who often inquires here to figure it out.
The food in the restaurant is absolutely fine, the problem is the food eaten by the three of them, one dead and two injured.
After a while, the Moon Lake Restaurant was surrounded by officers and soldiers.
Human life is at stake, and a living person was "poisoned" in the restaurant, how could someone who knew the news sit idly by.
However, Yuan Qing never revealed to outsiders the news that a man had died in the private room on the second floor. So who is the informant?
If, only two people were poisoned, and they couldn't die yet. There is no need to alarm the government. After all, the prefect has a lot of opportunities, how could he deal with this kind of thing, poisoning and not dying
Isn't it adding to the blockage for yourself?
When the government came here, it is very likely that someone found the body in the private room on the second floor.
Ren Yuanqing was cautious, but he was still discovered, but the paper couldn't contain the fire after all. What should come is still coming.
A guard was the first to walk in like a leading big brother, and then a man wearing a dark purple official mansion. A middle-aged man with a tall stature and a dignified look walked in.
In the hall on the first floor of the restaurant, in addition to the people in the restaurant, there are a few guests. Two poisoned people. A doctor, and a group of people from the government who just walked in.
The people in this government looked a little pretended, but they also had to put on a show.
"Just now, someone reported the case in Yamen, saying that the Yuehu Restaurant was illegally doing business, and three people died violently because they ate food in the restaurant. Two people were poisoned, and their lives and deaths are still unknown. The guard beside the purple-clothed official robe spoke.
This was said mercilessly. indiscriminately, he set up an illegal business for Yuehu Restaurant and poisoned the guests' meals
"Lord Prefect, I have been doing business here for many years, how can I open a restaurant and harm people's lives" Ge Yulian said to the prefect in his mouth.
The prefect is this middle-aged man dressed in purple. His surname is Mu, his name is Zhiyang, and he is Mu Xiaoli's father.
In the past, the prefect thought of a plan to let his daughter leave Yuan Bao, and in Yuan Qing's heart, she didn't have a good impression of him.
Seeing the deity this time, he looks like the majesty of a superior person, and there is nothing particularly disgusting at first glance.
"This official should be aware of where the deceased is now" Mu Zhiyang said, with a kind of upright bearing.
"The deceased is now on the second floor, please prefect." Ge Yu said.
"Leave a few people here to investigate the two poisoned men." Mu Zhiyang said, lifting his feet and going upstairs.
"Yes," several of the group responded, and three of them headed for the two poisoned.
The rest of the people followed the prefect upstairs.
On the first floor, Mo Zisang diagnosed two poisoned people, and a dish on the table where they were eating was indeed poisoned, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this dish was fried from the kitchen of the restaurant, and the people in the restaurant had no reason to harm them, so who poisoned this dish
These two people seem to have been poisoned a lot, they don't have a two or three days of rest, they don't want to move freely, fortunately, they woke up. can speak, but they keep saying that it is the black-hearted people in the restaurant who poison their wine and food.
The momentum is violent, and one by one, they want the prefect to seek justice for them.
The Moon Lake Restaurant is a public restaurant of the imperial court, it's okay, there are very few people who come to frame the reputation of the restaurant, after all, this restaurant belongs to the state, who is full of food and support, come to the Moon Lake Restaurant to poison
Isn't that thankless?
Besides, there is this one restaurant on the shore of the Moon Lake, and no restaurant will be full to support the Moon Lake Restaurant that is thousands of miles away. They don't go to the restaurant in front of them, what are they doing here?
It is unlikely to target restaurants.
These two people who were poisoned had been revived by Mo Zisang, and they were still scolding, of course, their bodies were still very weak, and they almost vomited a lot
On the second floor, in the third private room inside, there are unfinished drinks and dishes on the small table, and there is no trace of a fight in the environment, except for a man foaming at the mouth and crooked on the table, everything looks normal.
Since there are no traces of a fight, it means that the man was either fatal with one blow or poisoned to death.
Crowds poured into the private rooms. Yuan Qing and Qi Yan came up first, they stood in the corridor on the second floor, waiting for the prefect to come up, in the private room, in addition to the dead man, there was also a guy who was guarding the body, in case others came to frame him again.
The man's body had been crooked on the table, and no one had touched it.
"Lord Prefect, this is the man who was poisoned and died in the restaurant."
"Blocking messages." Mu Zhiyang lightly spit out these four words, that is, squatting down to inspect the man's body.
After all, this Yuehu Restaurant belongs to the imperial court, there are dead people in the restaurant, and the reputation of the restaurant is not good, Mu Zhiyang, as the prefect of Qiuzhou, although he doesn't care about the economy, but the public property, he naturally has to protect it.
"Yes." One man clenched his fists and said. In addition to the people in the restaurant, there are people from the government, and there are several insiders. The news has not yet spread, and it will not expand at once.
Yuan Qing watched from the sidelines, and Mu Zhiyang said that he wanted to block the news, which was a good thing for the restaurant, but for the restaurant operator, I am afraid it was a little difficult to explain.
A person died in the restaurant for no reason, and the people who work in the restaurant are afraid that it will be difficult to get rid of it.
"There was a deadly poison in this dish, and after he ate it, his whole body convulsed, his mouth foamed, and he couldn't live for a stick of incense." A man holds a silver needle and inserts it into the meal eaten by the deceased, and finally comes to a conclusion.
This sentence shocked the guys and chefs in the restaurant to their knees.
"The adults are aware that the little ones have never poisoned this guest's food." Chen Lan is the chef of the restaurant, and she was the first to speak.
"My lord, I'm the guy in charge of serving the food to this guest, I don't know him, I have no grievances, besides, I'm here to eat, as the second child of the restaurant, I don't dare to poison the guest's food." The guy was on his knees, almost crying.
Mu Zhiyang didn't say anything, he was the prefect of Qiuzhou, and he was the biggest official here, if he didn't have any ability, he wouldn't be able to be the prefect. In Qiuzhou City, if there is a murder case, he naturally has to take care of it, and this murder happened in his family's restaurant
"My lord, this man didn't know if he was poisoned and died." The man in charge of examining the man's body spoke.
"Explain the details." Mu Zhiyang Road.
This sentence really attracted the attention of everyone present, the man was not only poisoned, but he also died because of something
"There was a small short arrow shot into the deceased's waist, the blood flowed straight and it had coagulated, but I am afraid that it was shot by a short arrow before the deceased was poisoned and died."
"Pull out the short arrow and look at it carefully." Mu Zhiyang Road.
The private room where the man is located has a window inside and outside, one window facing the grass behind the restaurant, and one window facing the third floor of the restaurant.
The right side of the man's waist was attacked by a short arrow, and the man was facing the window that opened to the third floor of the restaurant, and his right side was attacked, and the window facing the third floor of the restaurant was also on the right side of the man.
It's easy to relate.
After a short time, a guard who had searched inside and outside the restaurant walked in, holding a crossbow in his hand, as if the short arrow that had been shot into the man's waist had been shot from the crossbow in the guard's hand.
"Lord Qiyu, my subordinates found an arrow crossbow in a bedroom on the third floor." As he spoke, the guard held the arrow crossbow in his hand, as if he was going to hand it to Mu Zhiyang.
This crossbow is short and precise, and fits perfectly with the short arrow drawn from the waist of the deceased.
Yuan Qing couldn't help but gasp, this arrow crossbow was built for her by someone who was better at making arrow crossbows. Yuan Qing's purpose in making this arrow crossbow was very simple, to go up the mountain to hunt. But she didn't expect that now it has become a sharp weapon for others to frame her.
"This crossbow was found in the treasurer's bedroom." The guard spoke again, and the target was obviously directed at Yuan Qing, the shopkeeper of the restaurant.
"Shopkeeper Yuan, what else do you have to say" Mu Zhiyang looked at Yuan Qing with an arrow crossbow, his momentum majestic.
"The murderer is not me, this arrow crossbow is indeed mine, but the purpose of me doing it is just to go up the mountain to hunt, and I have no intention of killing, and I ask my lord to know it." Yuan Qing clenched his fists and groveled.
"A murderer will never admit that he is a murderer." Mu Zhiyang smiled lightly and said slowly.
"My lord, this guest has no grievance with me, why should I kill him According to the previous inference, he died of poisoning, and was shot before he died of poison. And during this time period, I was still talking to Xiao Mo and Xiao Yuan in the guest room on the third floor, how could I kill someone," Yuan Qingdao said.
"Yes, my lord, my sister and I can testify for Sister Yuan, before this man died, the three of us were indeed in the guest room on the third floor, before that, we didn't know anything about this man, it was this guy who hurriedly knocked open the door of the guest room, and we knew that someone died in this restaurant." Xiao Yuandao. To be continued
